	作词 : OBeirne, Stewart, Watkins
	When I was a young apprentice and less than compos mentis
	I took leave of all my senses with a maid
	I fell in love.
	Her ringlets so entwined me
	Aphrodite's smile did blind me
	Cupid's arrow struck behind me and her father owned a pub.
	It was there
	I met my nemesis in her father's licensed premises
	Like the Seraphim of
	Genesis sat
	Mary Anne
	Maguire. Arrayed in fine apparel astride a porter barrel
	She looked the kind of girl that would fill you with desire.
	All the turtle doves were cooing as
	I took to my wooing
	Her Loveliness pursuing in the springtime of that year.
	But she thought
	I should be older and more gallant and much bolder
	In the uniform of a soldier 'tis then she'd hold me dear.
	In extremis and euphoria
	I joined with
	Queen Victoria
	For a spell of death or gloria a-fighting with the
	Boers. To the wind
	I threw all caution
	I'll return with fame and fortune
	And together make a portion of matrimony's chores.
	On the gravestone of her mother she swore she loved no other
	But I was to soon discover that she played me for a berk.
	For lady-luck had beached me and intelligence had reached me
	Whilst I'd been overseas she had married to a
	Turk. Well me,
	I then deserted for to find the girl who'd flirted
	Back to Ireland
	I reverted for my jealously was roused.
	In Maguire's
	Pub in Derry
	I found him making merry
	With his arms around my
	Mary as together they caroused.
	So I took my time and waited until his thirst was sated
	And home he navigated through the streets of
	Derry town.
	At his lodgins he stood knocking and whilst they were unlocking
	I put a stone into a stocking on his head
	I brought it down. '
	Twas then the night's serenity was rent with loud obscenity
	And Ottoman profanity that
	I couldn't understand.
	With an oath he made to grab me with full intent to stab me
	But as he tried to kebab me
	I was screaming up the strand.
	All around the town's perimeter he chased me with his scimitar
	A powerful passion limiter to an errant in his pride.
	Through the waterside he chased me to the
	Bridge of
	Foyle he raced me
	And at Derry
	Quay he faced me so
	I jumped into the tide.
	Sure bravery's no virtue when some heathen's trying to hurt you
	And all noble thoughts desert you when you see his curly knife.
	For there's many things worth trying for and occasionally worth lying for
	But there's bugger-all worth dying for so
	I'll stick to the soldier's life.
